To stay with Rafael Nadal's Grand Slam title hunt, the Serb has Wimbledon this year. Due to covid vaccination, he was unable defend his title at the Australian Open. He was then beaten at Roland-Garros in June.
Nadal has now 22 Majors after two victories in Paris and Melbourne in 2022. This puts him two steps ahead the 35-year old Serb.
"I am fully aware of the stakes. The stakes are high in every game and Grand Slam tournament that I play at this point in my career. I don't know how many Grand Slam tournaments I will have to win. The world No.3 says, "I have to approach the Sunday match with a positive attitude, confidence, and the will to win."
Djokovic will be looking for his seventh title at All England Lawn Tennis Club in the final. However, it's not Nadal who Djokovic will meet for a long-awaited 60th duel. Instead, Kyrgios, who was able to take advantage of the Mallorcan injury package that was offered before the semi-finals.
He was 27 years old, and he couldn't believe it. But he managed to control his nerves and let his tennis speak, reaching the final of a major tournament.
Grand Slam is all about riding the wave and taking the hits. Paul Jubb (editor's note: 219th in the world) beat me 7-5 in the fifth round. Now I'm in Wimbledon final," he gushes.
He created chaos in the third round to destabilize Stefanos Tsitsipas. Then he settled down for the second round and was able to take advantage of Nadal's withdrawal during the semi-finals.
He was able to see the point, especially as he is now in the final stages of his Major.
It's difficult to break out of a routine that involves a match every other week. The Australian says that she will be playing the final in the absence of having played the half.
He will have to deal with the stress of the event, which is perhaps more difficult.
After learning that he was qualified for the final, Kyrgios admitted to only sleeping one hour on Thursday and Friday.
He admits that he was already nervous and that he is not ...", often.
Djokovic recalled that Kyrgios was "a player with great appointments".
He was a great tennis player, and he played against the best. We all admire him because we know his potential, "insists on the Serb.
Due to his behavior on the court and psychological cracks, Kyrgios never was able to control his game to the final round of major tournaments.
Even among its distinguished predecessors, it is controversial to the point that it is considered controversial. "I don’t receive any support from any of the former Australian champions. It's odd, they have an unhealthy obsession to want to degrade me," regrets Kyrgios.
Djokovic sees a new maturity in tennis' enfant terrible. This makes him even more dangerous, as he relies heavily on a devastating serve. Djokovic predicts that "in the end, it'll be played in front, to the one will remain the strongest, and the calmest during the decisive moments".
His advantage in this game is unmeasurable, as he holds 20 Grand Slam titles, including six at Wimbledon. He has also won his last 27 matches with three titles passing. It's all good on paper.
